Carousel Art and Design - 4/10/17

Today I had a lesson in art and design, we turned a piece of paper into a 3d object/structure by cutting and folding it in ways that resulted in it standing up. After we had folded and cut he paper and made a self standing object we then shone light onto the paper structure allowing the light to travel through, then we took photos of the structure in different ways, resulting in strange looking images.



  • Materials
The materials that we used consisted of paper, biro pens, HB pencil, chalk, charcoal and ink. 
  • Processes
I took a piece of paper that had patterns already on it as we had done them the other day, then I cut some slots into the paper and also folded it in different ways resulting in it being able to support itself standing up strait. After the paper was placed, cut and folded in a particular way that made it look interesting I then shone light through and at it causing shadows and different lines on the paper giving even more detail and different looks to the paper. Once we was happy with how it looked we took photos of the paper with the lights shining onto the paper.

Final Piece - Motion Time lapse

I had previously created a time lapse of this location but it to me wasn't good enough due to a couple reasons, one being that it wasn't that long of a video, I wanted it to be a little bit longer. The other reason was that during shooting the the time lapse i had moved the camera while it was taking the images by accident, this resulted in the framing being different so in around the middle of it the shot jumps to a slightly different shot, which I was not happy with. So I resulted to re-shooting the images to create a new time lapse and this is what the end piece was. To create this time-lapse I used a sturdy tripod were I made sure that the legs and positioning of the camera was all locked into place after I had lined the shot that I wanted up with the camera. I used an Intervalometer or timer remote controller that simply plugs into your camera, I set the settings to end up taking a shot every 6 seconds after each exposure had completed as each shot was exposed for 4 ...

This results normally in a negative shadow image that shows differences in shade depending on how transparent the object that was place on top was. Originally having trained in painting, she had expressed an early interest in abstraction. Derges then turned to cameraless photography after having some frustration with the way that the  "the camera always separat...
